Film Education Program

The Biarritz Film Festival – NOUVELLES VAGUES carries out year-round film education initiatives to support and nurture the emergence of new imaginaries shaped by the younger generation.

The Festival and its film education team offer a space for learning and transmission aimed at local communities, associations, schools, and rural audiences.

The Film Education Program of the Biarritz Film Festival – NOUVELLES VAGUES, through its cultural initiatives, broadens the horizons of cinema audiences around four key pillars: awakening a passion for cinema, hands-on practice, debate, and the emergence of vocations. As a genuine socio-educational component of the festival, film education takes shape through filmmaking workshops, screenings and debates, and career encounters, fostering access to works, encouraging young people’s creative expression, and promoting professional exchanges. It also strengthens ties with local associations and nearby cinemas.

Beyond initiatives designed for schools and university students, special attention is given to underserved and marginalized audiences, priority neighborhoods, and young people at risk of dropping out.
